Abstract
A ski brake including a spade having an arm pivotably mounted around a transverse pivot axis with an exterior end section equipped with an element adapted to engage snow and an opposite interior end section connected to a brake pedal; and an elastic device for biasing the spade in a manner so as to move the spade from an inactive position to an activated braking position wherein the element for engaging the snow is projected and maintained under the ski, wherein the elastic device for biasing functions as a device for absorbing shock when the spade is forced into a position beyond the activated braking position and as a device for returning the spade towards the activated braking position.
